ReadyNAS NV+ and 2TB disks?
Hi there I'm wondering whether I can really expand my ReadyNAS NV+ now with 2TB disks. At the time where I bought it (some years ago) the highest supported disk size was 750GB. I do have two of them....
PapaBear wrote: The factory reset can in fact be done in any version of Frontview as the problem with the 2TB drives (excepting the WD drives) is the attempt to expand the volume. The expansion needs the 16K block size which was introduced with 4.01c1-p1. Those NV/NV+ units shipped before Frontview 4.x must have a factory default in order to use 16K blocks.
How can I tell if I'm operating with 16K blocks? I can't recall if I've factory defaulted this unit - and being an NV I've had it a while! Currently have 4x750s and need to upgrade them soon.
Cheers, --Kip
